Getting My Ex-wife Back

After she was done with her preparations, Raeleigh went to the lobby of the hospital. Xanthus accompanied her to wait for Jacky. Jacky stopped his car at the entrance and got out. He was slightly staggered when he saw Raeleigh. He hadn’t expected her to dress that way.

After sizing her up, Jacky opened the car door of the backseat and gestured for Raeleigh to go in.

Xanthus walked over. His gaze landed on Jacky and he said, “Sorry for the trouble.”

“I’m not doing it for you. That number you dialed is my private number which only a few people have. The fact that you called me meant that Santiago had told you to come to me in the event of any mishap. I’m doing it to help Santiago.”

Jacky stood aside, dressed in all-black and looking entirely composed. He radiated an aura of coldness, similar to Santiago.

Raeleigh also stood there and gazed at them for a short while before she bent down to get into the car. Then, she peered at the two people outside the car, waiting for Jacky to close the door.

Xanthus did not say anything else. He looked at Raeleigh and waved at her. “Take care. Call me when you’re free.”

“I got it.”

After Raeleigh replied to Xanthus, Jacky promptly got into the car as well. He closed the door and glanced at Xanthus before driving away from the hospital.

Sitting in the car, Raeleigh didn’t seem bothered about her own safety at all, as if she was completely worry-free when it came to that.

Usually, Raeleigh was not such a person. However, when it came to Santiago, she somehow always put herself last.

Not long after the car left, Raeleigh observed their surroundings. There weren’t any suspicious cars stalking them. Only then did Raeleigh ask Jacky, “Where are we going?”

“Flynt Moore’s car repair shop.”

“Does Flynt have anything to do with this matter?”

Jacky glanced at Raeleigh through the rearview mirror and answered, “Santiago suspected that Flynt was pulling some strings behind the scenes and colluding with someone to harm the Richards family.”

Raeleigh ruminated. “Things have been tranquil on Flynt’s side. So, you’ve been in charge of keeping an eye on him while Santiago went to look for some clues at the places Flynt had gone to?”

It was just a guess. Unexpectedly, it elicited a look of amazement in Jacky’s eyes.

Jacky said, “It doesn’t seem to me that Santiago has told you.”

Raeleigh kept silent, not answering him. Of course, she hadn’t been told by Santiago. Instead, she deduced it using her rational mind.

But, things were even more troublesome, it seemed.

Raeleigh was really worried that Santiago was in deep trouble.

Pursing her lips, Raeleigh said, “Drop me off at a place where I can get a cab nearby Flynt’s store. I’ll hail a cab there. You can follow me later, or wait for me over there beforehand. We’d better not alert the enemy. I’ll visit Flynt first and see if I can extract some information from him.”

“That’s too dangerous.”

Jacky disagreed with Raeleigh’s idea.

Raeleigh mulled over the plan. “Since Flynt didn’t confront the Richards family directly, it betrays his misgivings about the Richards brothers. If he’s really scheming against the Richards family in such a despicable way, then he won’t do anything openly now. If I go inside the shop, then I’ll call Xanthus… to let him know where I am. If I get into a fix, then I don’t think Flynt will hurt me. It isn’t the time for his showdown yet.”

“This way, he’ll be fearful of being suspected.”

“Stay outside. If I’m in danger, then you will know it.”

Jacky didn’t have any way to refute that. He had no choice but to concur with her.

After driving for a while, Jacky dropped Raeleigh off. When she emerged from the car, she did not even spare Jacky a glance. She walked to the roadside and waited for the other cars to pass by. There was a car repair shop nearby, meaning, there would not be a shortage of cars in the area. Soon, she got into a cab, with Jacky following close behind.

When the taxi came to a halt, Raeleigh took out some money and paid the driver. As the driver left, she turned around to observe the building in front of her. A moment later, she walked towards Flynt’s store. Just as she reached the door, it so happened that Flynt came out. Raeleigh stood there, looking in his direction. Flynt hobbled out with a bandaged arm.

The sun outside was still shining brightly. When Flynt pushed the door open as he exited, the dazzling sun made him raise his left hand to shield his eyes from the rays. Following that, he continued heading outside, but he stopped in his tracks after a few steps.

Lifting his head, Flynt saw Raeleigh, who was standing under the sun in her grey sportswear and a pair of grey shoes. It was like a mirage.

Flynt had a scraggly mustache on his face, and he looked haggard.

The moment he came into her line of sight, Raeleigh began feeling conflicted. She did not expect that he would end up that way.

Flynt slowly took a step after standing still momentarily. He walked with a limp.

“What’s up with your leg?” Raeleigh approached him. There was a look of desolation on his handsome face. Flynt replied, “It’s broken, but the doctor said it’ll heal.”

“What about your arm?”

Raeleigh then fixed her gaze on his arm. Flynt thought for a moment and said, “It’ll heal too.”

Raeleigh looked around. “I snuck out. I might have to go back soon.”

Flynt was baffled. “Snuck out?”

“Yes, you see, Stuart was met with some trouble. I’m with Xanthus now, but he has been detained in the hospital by the Richards brothers. I’m the same. I don’t know what’s been going on with the Richards family these two days. They didn’t check on me. So, I ran out when I was supposed to be exercising in the morning.”

While speaking, Raeleigh acted as though something had come to her mind. Then, she made a phone call.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Xanthus, I’m at Flynt’s place to visit him.”

Xanthus was slightly astounded when he received the call, but he replied in the next moment, “I see. Be cautious and come back early.”

“I got it.” Raeleigh hung up and turned around to look at Flynt while putting her phone away.

“I didn’t know you had ended up this way. I thought you would be fine,” Raeleigh explained. Cogitating, Flynt looked down at his foot before he said, “Come in.”

He turned around and limped into the store. Raeleigh followed him inside. Jacky watched them from afar with his binoculars briefly, before putting them down.

When they entered the store, Flynt invited her to the living quarters where he had been staying. Raeleigh surveyed the place. It was familiar to her. She had been here before.

“Have some water.” Flynt poured her a glass of water. Raeleigh looked at it and said, “I’ve been having hypoglycemia lately. Because of that, I started consuming soft drinks. Do you have any? Earl Grey tea is fine by me too.”

Only then did Flynt get up to go to the refrigerator. Raeleigh felt much more relieved when she saw him take a flask of Earl Grey tea for her.

The water could have been drugged. However, it wasn’t as easy to do so for packaged or canned drinks, especially not right in front of her. After all, Flynt had totally no idea that she was coming.

Flynt gave her the flask of Earl Grey tea, and Raeleigh opened it to take a sip. She looked around the room before she focused her gaze on his arm. “Is it really not that severe?”

Flynt nodded. He could not take his eyes off Raeleigh’s calm countenance.

Raeleigh noticed that, of course. As they said, one’s eyes were the window to their soul.

Raeleigh wondered why she could read everyone’s feelings just from looking at their eyes, except for the Richards brothers. How strange!
